| Abstract: | The authors in this study were concerned with the 90 % credibility value advocated as a rule of thumb regarding the transportability of employment test validities. They investigated the ability of this meta-analytic rule to detect the presence of discretely defined moderator variables, that is the ability of the rule to detect instances where transportability is inappropriate. An infinite sample size analysis and a mathematical proof demonstrated that the transportability rule may produce erroneous inferences at rates higher than expected. |
